[Qeowiii3]

the one person who disliked was emperor cole

[Doomy23]

See ? Even the Well of Furies understands how unbelievably perfectly amazing the great Emperor Marcus Cole is. VIVA PRAETORIA BITCH !

[cromwellaproval1]

@Doomy23 All Hail Cole

[Doomy23]

@cromwellaproval1 All hail Cole indeed

[AngelusDlion]

but hey, no pressure guys.

[qwsx12]

I been playing this game for 5 years and im happy with everything and we are getting new powers with the incarnates. Pretty soon they will start working on pvp i believe i mean cmon guys its not easy to give alot in soo little time it takes work and money.

[qwsx12]

The so called Tyrant (Evil Statemans) is not the real tyrant its a copy. His name is not tyrant iether in the himidon. This is a whole new thing that were getting to the real tyrant now and it will take alot more powers to take him down. This game its about the past present and future.

[SeiferKai]

@PY174 Yeah, i never get a straight answer.

[SeiferKai]

@GumbaMasta that made no sense in the slightest, actually that was really dumb and so irrelevant to my interests that i cant even say anything else right now.

[PY174]

@SeiferKai Actually that made perfect sense but it wasn't what you asked for

[GumbaMasta]

@mxylgeist And we all miss you so much. Most sincerely.

[ThePowerofAwesome]

Looks good.. Sucks they didn't do anything with costumes though. The only new stuff we've been getting has been in boosters. I don't mind paying for 'em, but it'd be nice to get stuff like that for free once in a while. Wasn't i19 supposed to have an IDF costume?

[DieYuppieScum80]

Champions online is utter crap. The grapics make my eyes bleed, and there are still problems from BETA that haven't been resolved.

I20 in CoH, however is fun as hell. Granted, the new trials require a bit more teamwork than most people are probably used to. I think once the content is out for a while and people get their act together, it's going to be the bomb.

[3Dyler]

@DieYuppieScum80

I dont know what kind of idiot you are when champions online got better graphics then CoH.

I cannot decide which game is best. CoH has lame animations, though champions online dont have this much and fun power sets. Both are good, but both have flaws.

[Kedramalik]

Also, These new Incarnate slots, allow you to take your characters to god-like status, Finally we are recieving end-game content, something for us to do with our 50's, something for lowbies to look forward to, if people would stop complaining, and look at what has been given to us in Issue 20, you'd realize, Incarnates is changing the game, how its played, and is bringing variety among builds, not just the same cookie cutters of old..

[Kedramalik]

There is no need for an increased level cap lol, Already, with the alpha slot, you recieve a +1 level shift upon reaching tier 3 in the alpha tree you choose. So, in PvE, you are recognized as being level 51, also, with the new trials, you face super-version of old foes...which requires teamwork, communication, and determination to succeed. also, with 4 new incarnate slots(2 of which also grant +1 level shifts*while on the trials), there is a lot more going on than just "rehashing"

[SeiferKai]

I'm looking to get back into city of heroes, ive played for 2 years from when it started. can someone give me some insight as to why i should go back? your opinions matter for i have been out of touch with this game for a while. if you don't think i should please point me in a direction to a game similar that i might enjoy.

please don't mention, World of Warcraft. for i have played that. im bored of world of Warcraft.

P.S: Please be Descriptive.

[RazulLD]

@SeiferKai the new game from cryptic that is also focused on super heroes and its free to play is Champions Online. If you prefer better graphics its the best choice. City Of Heroes is a bit old now but still have some things that CO don`t have and that makes it diffrent. Like the super hero bases and some cool items that are still not added in CO, but that will change, in COH the lvling is a bit diffrent too, also in CO you cant be a villain but you can make one that will be your arch enemy.

[GumbaMasta]

@SeiferKai Basicaly you punch mafia gang members from apartment block rooftops.

Unless you're in the past. Then you're punching roman legionaires from a really, really tall wall.

[Personaldk]

Awesome issue! Now if only the devs would do something about the faces.. The fact that there is no facial expression just creeps me out!

[TechHunter16]

1 word: EPIC

Now I just need a level 50 character... My highest is 21 :(

[darthbeandip]

In a way, the incarnate system does up the level cap. The higher level alpha slots allow you to function a level higher in most respects, though I don't know if the new slots will do likewise, and if they will stack. Level cap is not an issue for me, as it inevitably means scaling down existing characters like Statesman. If games like WoW would just add better content and diversity at the existing level cap they wouldn't have to keep raising it.

[LtZerge]

@darthbeandip

Thank you. I'm tired of hearing people bag for level cap raises... It baffles my mind. There's way more ways to progress in a game dangit o_o

Given that they can already add content to existing levels perfectly fine, the only thing level cap extensions do is make 'bigger numbers' and 'more ding' .. .

*shrug*

complain complain whine whine complain whine complain complain cry rage complain whine whine complain whine rage complain whine complain

Seriously...awesome Issue guys! Much fun!

[mattwo7]

why is there three copies of this video?

[TheOriginalDasher]

I hope the CoH Devs are lstening to all these great comments. We have been saying for years:

Up the level cap.

NEW powers, not just new overlays of the same old stuff. Stretching. Shape-Changing. Size Change.

A whole new engine; the one the game uses now is outdated, and not much more can be done with it.

Make "travel powers" Travel POWERS. Start with Super Speed.

LISTEN to the players who want NEW STUFF, not just those with maxed builds who don't want to risk losing their pre-eminence.

[tzmakis]

@TheOriginalDasher I hope Devs will listen as you say but I prefer they do something for PVP. Its been 3 years !!!

[bellpei]

Excellent trailer. I wonder who voiced Ramiel.

[NoniDJB]

I think it would be great if they added new powers, like element powers. Wind, Water and be able to add elemental toons to the mix. I know they have gale and storm... but I am thinking something more along the lines of distinct element powers.

I agree with up the level caps as well.. I have 2 accounts I pay for and it's so worth it. One I let my grandson go on so we have a family time in game.. it's great to see it spur his creativity.

[bruce5476]

I love this game and the people who play it are the best, but to keep the game interesting you really need a game changer. Up the cap to 60+ and think outside the box to new powers. For example at lvl 60, MM's bots can combined and transform into a giant power bot or something. I still love the customs and the customization are the best, but we need stuff that says "WOW, that is cool." The last couple of upgrades are fine, just not game changing.

[broncosman]

What kills me is that WoW (hack and slash like 800 other MMO's out there) finds ways to make the game still fun and "new". Yet a kick ass game like CoH (which I started playing since beta) is not putting forth the effort to expand and increase the game like WoW. WoW is an open map... HUGE open map, and CoH is zone loading. So what's the problem? It's just linking content to be loaded... Hell, even Guild Wars, which is free, has new things that come out and gets added. Is funding the problem?

[broncosman]

put advertising on the billboards in the cities... I mean the price of the game hasn't changed at all. If you aren't adding more content or making the game more exciting (in other words not doing anything really except changing the color of something and call it new) then at least lower the price. I love(d) playing CoH. I spend an ungodly amount of time on this game, like many other people. It's an awesome game, pls don't let it fall to the wayside like Planetside!!!

[FirstFirstNorth]

@broncosman The have the same names, but not much else. Maybe you missed the whole "power of the well" thing.

[TheYoshidaX]

So they want us to fight the same exact arch villians we had been fighting since they came out with the The Praetorians? I fought the hamidon like 100 times, Ive taken out all the Praetorians including Tyrant (evil statesman) so why do it all over again. This is classic NC Soft and Cryptic Studios, they keep rehashing over and over again expecting people to fall for it.

[byaselli21]

anyone play this game anymore?

[Rolwhite]

OK guys I am a fan..and have been one from the start, it's time to up the cap. Level 50 is not doing it for us,if you want people to keep playing then you need to go higher!
